MALACAÑAN PALACE

MANILA

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES

[ MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR No. 26, s. 1963, June 14, 1963 ]

REQUIRING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES MAKING OFFICIAL TRIPS TO TRAVEL VIA PHILIPPINE AIR LINES (PAL) OR THROUGH PAL CONNECTIONS.

The Philippine Air Lines, Inc., being a government-controlled corporation, it is but proper that it be patronized by the government.

For this purpose, it is hereby directed that government officials and employees going on official travels by air, especially abroad, secure plane accommodations, whenever possible, on PAL planes. In cases of trips to foreign places not serviced by PAL planes, arrangements shall, nevertheless, be made with the Philippine Air Lines for accommodations via PAL connections with foreign airports, as long as such arrangements do not involve extra or additional expense over rates offered by other airline companies for direct or similar arrangements for the said foreign places.

Official air travel not in accordance with the foregoing shall not be allowed except upon certification of non-availability of any such accommodations from the Philippine Air Lines, Inc., within the conditions specified in the preceding paragraph.

Strict compliance with this Circular is hereby enjoined.

By authority of the President:

SALVADOR L MARIÑO

Executive Secretary

Manila, June 14, 1963.
